Greetings, Firstly congratulations on your beautiful hotel. I've stayed in many fine hotels around the world, some better than others - but I was so charmed by your hotel and its delightful staff that I cannot wait to return. My husband feels the same way. I did ask who was responsible for the fine and subtle design and was told the owner had designed it. It's really lovely, congratulations.Bathroom superb. The Dar L'Ouissia is so in keeping with its location - comfortable without tacky ostenation, cool and refreshing without being cold - I wish more people succeeded as you have. I'm a writer by profession, so I could go on......!! Please don't change it.

We liked the well re-furbished interior of the traditional Moroccan home/inn. Very welcoming, comfortable, quiet, and convenient. In-house bar, excellent restaurant, and roof-top breakfast area were part of the convenience. Bathroom was very good.

Probably the best value you can get for your money in Essaouira. Great service, very friendly staff, nice well taken care of rooms with a great rooftop terrasse cafe. And all this for a backpacker's budget. Their hamman is a must-do experience. And the location, inside the city walls but close to the gate so you can still access it by car, is unbeatable.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Free wifi. Great view from the rooftop terrace. Excellent location within the city centre but next to the beach and fishermen's harbour. Spacious rooms.

Service at breakfast should be improved. Breakfast does not meet the standards of the rest of the hotel. Wifi signal should be stronger so that it is available in every room.
